    4k Monitor - USB-C or no USB-C?

    Hi there, for my MacBook Pro 13" 2017, I want to buy a monitor. As 21:9 ultrawides aren't really available/affordable in real 4k (i.e. 2000p), I may just go for a "regular" 4k monitor. I'm considering e.g. a LG 27UD58P and a LG 27UD88-W. And I wonder, the 88 is significantly more expensive...
